My son's girlfriend at the time was one of the players in the original incarnation of women's football, playing for LA, but apparently that fizzled out before ever getting off the ground. They were playing tackle football in gear. Serious stuff. The problem was that half the women were like Amazons and the other half just ordinary fit women. The match-ups were a real problem. It was as if you took some ordinary guys and put them on a team with NFL players... injuries were a huge issue.

They were going to make a reality TV show out of it, but also play real games and seriously compete.

Not sure what happened... my son and the girlfriend broke up and I lost track of it all.

Now we see women's football coming back in this incarnation, which I'm sure is going to be flag football. Guess they figured they had to amp up the sex to get a paying audience.

It'll be interesting if its really competitive and they have some real athletes playing, and not just a bunch of models posing for photo ops. We have plenty of bikini babes out there in Sports Illustrated and its ilk already.
